We quite know that there are a couple of Nigerians who are actually or probably richer than him, but guess why he's called Nigeria's richest man by Forbes and has been listed on Forbes billionaire list 3 years in a row - Beacause his wealth is verifiable or would I say transparent.
It is not much a recent gist, but Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Nigeria based on chain of family business which he manages called the Dangote Group.
Aliko Dangote first entered Forbes rich list in 2008 and was listed with a net worth of $3.3BN which probably made him for a while the richest black man, being richer than Oprah Winfrey. This was due to the fact that he took sugar factory to the NSE, for listing, in 2007.
Although Dangote's worth has reduced a little to currently the 463rd richest person in 2010, he has still remained on the list of world billionaires based on US dollars. This may be due partly to the global recession and the huge fall in stock prices OF Dangote Sugar.
The Dangote group is virtually in anything and everything that propels the Nigerian economy, spreading its tentacles across the Construction, Logistics, Food, Real estate and Oil and Gas industries.
One of the recent major investment by Dangote is the Obajana cement factory cement factory by 2010 which is yet to be completed and has suffered a slow down and investors are eagerly awaiting an IPO for this investment.
The Forbes list may not be able to tell us exactly who the richest Nigerians are but based on their reputation and highly efficient research methods, their report on Nigeria's richest man is worth considering.

Re: Richest man in Nigeria Posted by Raphael on September 22, 2010 at 09:22:35: I believe Dangote is just d kid by d block. We ave silent billionnaires who 4 d sake of security fail 2 declare their asset. He jump tax, owe banks etc. If all dat is deducted den i believe i am richer dan him. Lets be sincere, Babagida, Jimoh Ibrahim, Adenuga, Otedola, Abacha's family. Dangote is learnin 4rm dem. Is a small boy in d block wen it comes 2 TOO MUCH MONEY.
Re: Richest man in Nigeria Posted by King Great. on October 08, 2010 at 11:52:02: I think Dangote is d richest man in Naija cos we know of his investments like Sugar,Salt,Spaghetti,Oil,Cement etc.
Re: Richest man in Nigeria Posted by Mex on October 11, 2010 at 03:52:46: Dangote is one of the few Nigerian billionaires whose wealth is verifiable. What businesses do the, Abachas, Obasanjo, Babangida etc have to justify all the money they own?
Nothing significant! And that's 'cos the money was stolen from the nation's coffers.

His riches will soon go down the drain

Re: Richest man in Nigeria Posted by Kb Jay on March 14, 2011 at 07:34:57: Dangote is infact the wealhtiest black Man on earth whether anyone likes it or not. It is not any man's doing but by the Grace and Blessings of Allah. By the comments of some myopic minded people, you begin to see the reason why they will perpetually live and die in poverty of both the mind and material because of their envious eyes and evil tongues. Their judgements are so warped and lacks the light of God.

Re: Richest man in Nigeria Posted by Anayo(a.k.a. Rich Cornerstone) on April 20, 2012 at 01:54:35: I am not saying wt deceitful lips rather whole-heartedly. The richest man in Nigeria is from south-east. He has not even a day show-off with his wealth just because of the fear to be tramppled upon by the govt. & her accessory. The fact that Dangote is the richest man in Nigeria is a mere tittle given to him by the govt. Dangote won't has emerged up to this level if importers from south-east were given the licence initially. If I may say, the so called richest man in Nigeria is not self-actualized. As my name implies, I am looking foward to becoming one richest men in Africa in Godly way. Bye for now.
